It’s not every day you see actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani swapping his scripts for spatulas, but his recent culinary comeback has the internet craving comfort food. Known for his clean eating and fitness-focused lifestyle, the Ganapath star decided to treat himself (and his followers) to something indulgent yet nostalgic: a cheesy aloo masala dosa with a drizzle of chilli sauce. In an Instagram video that instantly went viral, the 40-year-old actor can be seen donning a casual T-shirt in his kitchen, rediscovering his love for cooking. His caption summed up the excitement perfectly: “Been 5-6 years since I cooked anything. Back in the kitchen by popular demand.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jackky V Bhagnani (@jackkybhagnani) The clip takes fans behind the scenes of Jackky Bhagnani’s dosa-making ritual, which is equal parts homely and heartwarming. It starts with him mixing the dosa batter into a smooth, lump-free consistency using a small bowl. “I used to never like the pieces that come; it should just melt right in the mouth,” he explains, as he blends the aloo sabji for the filling. Next, he sprinkles water on a heated tawa and pours a ladleful of batter, spreading it in quick, even circles until it forms a thin layer. As the dosa begins to crisp, he adds a spoonful of ghee for that golden, fragrant finish. But here’s where Jackky’s signature spin comes in. He tops it with shredded cheese, a generous spoon of spiced aloo mixture, and a drizzle of chilli sauce before folding it to perfection. Once plated, the actor sits down to enjoy his creation with a classic side of coconut chutney. Taking a big bite, he grins and declares, “So this is great, I’m going to have chilli sauce, some cheese, aloo dosa… Chutney is also nice, I love the nariyal ka chutney.” The video is more than just a cooking demo. It’s a slice of comfort food nostalgia served with celebrity charm. Jackky’s dosa isn’t about gourmet complexity; it’s about the simple joy of home-cooked flavours that hit all the right notes. It was crispy, cheesy, spicy, and utterly satisfying. Want To Try It Yourself? Making a dosa like Jackky’s is easier than it looks. Start with fermented rice and urad dal batter, spread it thin on a hot, greased tawa, and cook until golden. Fill it with mashed potatoes sautéed with mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, and onions. Add a handful of grated cheese and a streak of chilli sauce for that fusion flair. Serve it hot with coconut chutney, or as Jackky says, “nariyal ka chutney,” because some classics don’t need reinventing.
